A problem, not a solutionAlthough I have not yet had time to learn all I need to know to fully utilize the functions of this printer, it has performed well for the simple tasks I have used in the approximately 3 months I have had it. I was well aware of the "sleep" mode problem when I bought it but I didn't take the time I should have taken to investigate the magnitude of the problem. Searching the internet for a solution to the "sleep" mode problem reveals a long history of many, many hours of lost productivity, wasted bandwidth and wasted electricity by so many Brother customers trying to resolve an issue that could be so easily resolved by the manufacturer quickly and with very little effort. There is no telling what the loss in resources to the economy has been for the unsuspecting public that purchased Brother products over the years with similar problems. I now own 2 Brother products: my first and my last.

Only one IssueThis may be a small point but unlike my previous color laser printer this one "curves" the pages significantly. Apparently the heat of fixing the toner to the sheet is enough to curve the paper along its long axis. Since I edge bind a lot of documents this creates booklets that will not lay flat. Otherwise the features are everything you would want in a color laser printer.

Paper ExitsHaving two options for printed paper to leave the printer has been helpful. For heavy ,eight paper, I open the back door so the paper doesn't have to fold back to be discharged, where as, for standard paper, I keep that door closed and allow the paper to be discharged normally.

iscan/iprint doesn't workI elected not to buy a laser printer with a scan/copy/fax function because of the iscan/iprint feature on this printer, but it doesn't work with my Apple products (iPad, iPhone). Getting the WiFi to work from the MacBook Pro itself was difficult, and recently the function quit working again for no apparent reason. Very frustrating.
Moreover, my original printer quit feeding paper into the print chamber and I was forced to get a refurbished model about 10 months after I purchased the unit from Costco. I expected ease of set up, ease of use, consistency of printing, along with the household convenience of WiFi. I also had to take the unit apart to send it off and put it all back together with no instructions. A return UPS label was not sent as was promised, so I had to carry the heavy unit to UPS to find that out; wait until a new label was sent, and then haul it in again to get it shipped back. I wish I had bought a printer, copier, scanner, fax machine from a different company.

Great with everything except manual feedThis machine connected easily with my PC and portables. It does a great job in printing and duplex printing when the paper source is the unit's tray.
It is routinely hit and miss when I manually feed paper, card stock, or envelopes into the machine. Placing the object to be printed into the slot always causes the machine to "activate". Sometimes it then responds by drawing the leading of the paper into the machine, followed by printing correctly on it. Other times it fails to draw the edge in and then fails to print. Removing and replacing the paper once, twice, or more times may be necessary to get it to completely draw the paper in and print on it. Sometimes you won't feel it being drawn in....but it has been and then prints properly.
The time spent in overcoming this nuisance problem is exasperating.
Additionally, when using the manual feed, the paper regularly is printed upon at a slight angle because the manual feed guides are too loose and too close to the printer to keep the paper properly aligned to the printer's color drums/fuser. So print border is not parallel to the paper's border.
